The once hot and frenzied place now beca cold and silent. Everyone looked tensely ahead as the black dust settled slowly; behind them, the red do fluttered more intensely, practically open.
When everything beca clear, only a dense wave of death’s Yin perated the environnt, passing through everyone and blending with the abyss’s laws. Soon, they heard the sounds of people falling to the ground in astonishnt. It was about a dozen demons from the Illusory Demon clan who, for so reason, did not want to attack and remained still. They were the only survivors.
In the center of everything, only a not-very-deep crater existed. The power of thousands of dragons was sothing frightening beyond imagination, but it was used in a controlled manner, causing enough destruction just to eliminate everyone. And nothing was left behind.
Then, the two leaders took calm steps forward, as if they didn’t care about what they did or the consequences. The half-demon woman looked at the dozen fallen demons, who were astonished, and spoke to them.
"Malice is repaid with malice; those who attack will receive no rcy. Go back and tell your leader: Our two clans will visit him and settle the scores soon."
Thus, the two newly arrived clans only moved slowly, and as if a lightning bolt passed through those dozen demons, they got up and ran away as fast as possible.
At that mont, Runula took a deep breath, her eyes trembled for a second, revealing the mask she carried. Calirer, by her side, smiled warmly, reassuring her. Goku ntally guided Runula, forcing her to say and do everything according to the training to learn how to lead. Repeating the words ntally, she perford all actions with utmost determination in an intense effort to assimilate the process and teachings. Given her not-very-intelligent nature, this approach was considered the most effective: repetition until it beca automatic.
anwhile, everyone observed the two weaker clans approaching silently and absorbed in deep thoughts. They didn’t notice a small group in their midst, composed of individuals without demon blood. When an adviser from a stronger clan noticed a strange and round figure among the half-demons, the do gave its last flutter and stabilized, indicating the opening.
Without hesitation, everyone focused on the crucial mission and quickly turned, jumping inside the do. In a few minutes, they crossed rapidly, aware of the limited ti and imminent danger.
’Good job. Follow the plan and stay close to protect yourselves.’
Bruno spoke ntally to the two leaders ahead before entering the realm of flas. The whale breathed softly, feeling Ruri’s excitent on his shoulder, and took steps inside, closely followed by the entire group behind him.
A flaming light enveloped everyone, obscuring their views, but in a few seconds, they found themselves surrounded by a sea of molten lava. The whole group felt their lungs burn, forced to stop breathing. The entire environnt radiated infinite and dense fire laws.
Loeus sighed, his pores and ridians opening instantly without him needing to think. Suddenly, his entire body emitted a subtle Yang, and the fire laws around seed to converge into him like a black hole.
Langrum smiled witnessing this, but soon felt her hand being grabbed by Loeus, and that Yang extended, enveloping her completely. Taking a deep breath, she opened her own ridians. Loeus was flooded with Yang, transferring a part of it to her directly, and she accepted it joyfully.
Almin observed this with a pang of regret and began to absorb the laws of the environnt. However, the fire core he had assimilated in the past ca from a beast with a cultivation lower than what he possessed now. Therefore, that core had already reached its maximum limit, and he limited himself to replacing the internal laws, exchanging them for the denser ones in the environnt.
On the whale’s shoulder, Ruri was already prepared, and her master protected her by blocking a significant portion of the laws. "Focus on absorbing so of this; it will help balance the Yin in your body," the whale spoke gently.
Ruri huffed and began absorbing the surroundings calmly and slowly, not saying a word. Alm and Bruno were intrigued; it was clear she didn’t want to perform that task for so reason, but they chose to ignore it for now.
Looking around, the group spotted the thousands of demons standing at a certain distance. Everyone was adapting to the new environnt, completely opposite to the Yin and infernal laws present in the abyss.
Calirer explained everything she knew, and Alm and Bruno didn’t forget to study all the records of the Soul Eater clan. This realm of flas would remain open for approximately three days. After this period, the fire laws would start becoming denser at an explosive rate. Not even the demon emperor would be able to survive in this place after that point; everyone would have to leave before that happened.
The landscape consisted of nurous fully active volcanoes, spewing lava and fire laws into the air. In the center of this majestic place stood a colossal volcano, displaying its greatness and power. The ground, for the most part, was ford by lava, leaving only a few routes to walk.
This lava consisted of the purest and densest fire laws. Fire, being the law closest to Yang and the opposite elent to demons, was deadly and challenging for them to control. Simply approaching the lava could be fatal.
Flying in the skies was practically an invitation to a quick death. Active volcanoes were visible and obvious, but in the midst of lava pools, out of sight and sense range, there were smaller volcanoes that erupted suddenly, spewing lava and fire into the skies in an undefendable and deadly manner. Flying was like rolling dice, playing with luck, and there were records of clan leaders who died trying to fly.
Walking along the few routes was the only minimally safe option for those with demon blood. However, there were also beasts that inhabited this place, so living inside the lava as if they were fish.
Returning to the current mont, demons, upon arrival, needed to spend a few minutes adapting to the laws. This would put them in a better condition to face the dangers. However, this adaptation was limited to demons.
In a matter of seconds, the whale group quickly advanced in a straight line, grabbing the attention of the main advisers from the clans. It was there that they felt sothing strange. This group had no demon blood. Were they evil cultivators? They thought, a bit surprised.
None of the six clans from the fourth and fifth levels offered sufficient benefits to attract evil cultivators. If they had so, exploring the realm of flas would be easier since so of them had an affinity with fire laws and could sense dangers better, venturing more deeply safely.
The whale group continued to advance rapidly, and soon, the free land route ca to an end. To the surprise of the advisers, they didn’t stop. The whale’s fist glowed, perating his body with Qi as he took a step forward. Everyone followed suit, walking on the lava as if it were the calm water of a common stream.
When all the demons finally adapted to the environnt, the whale group was no longer in sight. The advisers looked in the direction they disappeared, and only then did they realize they had traced a straight line toward the colossal central volcano.
Would evil cultivators be crazy enough to do that? All the advisers thought incredulously. They had little contact with these cultivators, but they knew they were not afraid of death and did not hesitate to take risks. Perhaps those with greater affinity for these laws might attempt sothing, but that would be extrely risky, almost suicidal.
As the senior advisers pondered in these seconds, everyone remained still. Then, the half-demons and half-wyverns ran in a specific direction, all together in a large group. For so reason, they seed in a hurry, as if they were fleeing as fast as possible.
BOOM!
The earth shook, and from above, a gigantic wave of fire laws surged forward towards everyone.
The demons turned pale, and the advisers were startled, but they reacted quickly, jumping in front. Their entire cultivation was activated, and a demonic barrier was created in front.
CRACK!
The barrier exploded, and a dozen of the most powerful advisers spat blood. However, all the cultivators behind them sighed heavily, for they were saved. Suddenly, a deadly premonition dominated the atmosphere, causing everyone to turn their gaze forward in fear. On the horizon, a terrifying sight almost brought them to their knees.
Dozens of creatures as large as volcanoes erged before them not too far away. With bodies composed of raging lava, these beasts roared with overwhelming intensity. They all had their backs turned as if fighting against sothing.
They were the Abyssal Fire Golems! A tremor ran through all those present, recognizing these formidable fire creatures, so of the most powerful recorded in that place.
The Fire Golems raised their arms imposingly as if preparing to strike sothing in a single direction.
"RUN!!!" The advisers shouted with desperate eyes, echoing a warning that reverberated amid chaos and despair.
